Sunderland
0-0 Arsenal

Sunderland drew 0-0 with Arsenal on Sunday but will feel
they could have claimed a crucial three points in their Premier League survival
battle.

Arsenal needed to win at the Stadium of Light to edge ahead
of Manchester City once again in the race for third place, but they had to make
do with a point which lifted Sunderland out of the relegation zone on goal
difference.

The Black Cats could have won it, too, with Patrick van
Aanholt hitting the woodwork with a first-half free-kick and Petr Cech making a
series of important saves after the break to keep Sam Allardyce’s men at bay in
front of a crowd of 45,420.

Arsenal dominated the early stages, with the Black Cats
simply unable to match their pace and movement in the middle of the field – and
it was not until Allardyce managed to get his players to press higher up the
pitch that they started to come into it.

Leicester
City 4-0 Swansea

Leonardo Ulloa scored twice as Leicester City beat Swansea
City 4-0 at the King Power Stadium to edge closer towards the Premier League
title.

Some wondered how Leicester would cope in the absence of
Jamie Vardy up front against the Swans, but Claudio Ranieri’s men never looked
like slipping up from the moment Riyad Mahrez capitalised on a hashed Ashley
Williams clearance to put them ahead in the 10th minute.

Ulloa further settled the home fans’ nerves with a header to
make it 2-0 on the half-hour mark before tapping in a third after an hour after
Kasper Schmeichel set Jeff Schlupp free.

Substitute Marc Albrighton added a fourth with five minutes
remaining as Leicester piled the pressure on second-placed Tottenham ahead of
their game against West Brom on Monday evening.
